If the NRL do not suspend Mitchell until at least the end of the season then that’ll do me.
Cast your minds back to earlier in the season with some of our suspensions from Nikora, Talakai and Ramien, all of them got what they deserved, but none of them are anywhere near as bad as this one. By a long way.
Shoulder charge to the head
8 or 9 weeks for mine.

Just watched T Robinson serve it up to the referees and Perenara in the bunker in particular , reckon he cops a fine , but he was spot on , every team has copped poor refereeing , some more than others .
But refereeing is poor in a lot of sports , EPL is rubbish , rugby can be dodgy at the best of times , even umpiring in test cricket has become hit and miss .
I think a lot of it has to do with most sports having video refs , on field refs working on the theory that if they miss it then it will be picked up , up stairs . Probably there are other points that have affected the standard of refereeing but i think in RL it is as poor as i have seen it .

I cannot believe that the bunker missed that hit, Perenara should be sacked and Mitchell should get 8 weeks, they say he’s not dirty but I question that.

Robinson was right in a lot of the things he said. The standard of officiating in the game and they match last night in particular is definitely appalling. Has been all season and the Bunker is a dead set farce.

He was right about all of that but I don’t buy the crap about his team being targeted. He’s full of shit in that regard. Crying foul because of a couple of instances where his player was taken out or whatever, boo f**king hoo. His team won a grand final off a ridiculous decision from a ref in 2019, he’s got a short memory. His club has had it all their own way for years so he needs to stop playing the sympathy card but the typical Eastern suburbs/Roosters entitlement has gotten to his head

And yeah Latrell should get 6-8 weeks for that.

Johns, Gus and all of 9 are hugely to blam. They are constantly calling it how they want to suit their personal views and favouritisms. Every decision is ruled on what team, who they are, what’s their past is, not as simply as player A on player B to decide how it’s called.
It contributes to how the refs rule the game over how their decisions are viewed and reported in the paper the next day.

Been charged 6 weeks with early plea. 9 if he fights it.
Love to see his mitigating circumstances if he does decide to fight it . 6 seems about right with him missing the finals as well , that will be bit that hurts , 2nd season in a row he's missed them .

Loved Robinson's rant.
Controlled and factual.

Can't argue with it. The way he worked thru it step by step.
It was pure negligence and ineptitude.
Not only should Latrell be rubbed out for the year they should send Perenara with him and send the message.
I don't care if its the Rorters. Good on him.
I wish we had a coach who could do the same for us.

Mitchell has been grubbing it up all year. Robinson was right to go hard over that incident but claiming that Easts are unfairly targeted was a bit rich.

Bennett deflected citing Roosters players who have ordinary records. Irrelevant. It was an ordinary shot and Mitchell will get what he deserves. The usual media types will rush to his defence with the usual excuses.

One person in another thread also made another point that the people on FOX promote the match as a grudge match they hate each other, so these kind of actions doesnt suprise me it promotes their narative.

yep, you can already see Gus and John’s saying the predictable old, “he doesn’t deserve to miss a finals series or potential grand final over this..” like shit he doesn’t

Yep… Agree. Gus was screaming ‘no intent to harm’ last night!

If you think Latrell is not prone to a ‘dog shot’, you’re kidding yourself.

We will with Fitz once he gets settled into the role , seems a very measured bloke .
Robinson will cop a fine for naming a ref in his rant , made it personal , that's the part they wont like .

The fact he's been proven correct - does that mean they won't fine him?

If he says they're incompetent and latrell doesn't get pinged he's fair game but when Perenaras been shown to have fpharked up big time...Robinson's 100% correct.

He called the bloke negligent and he was.

Loved the bit about the circus music - that bring him undone

Latrell will miss the whole finals series, and depending on how far Souths go that could be anywhere between 2-4 matches. I don’t think it’s worth fighting for him personally because he could be out until round 5 or 6 next year should he get done for 9 matches. Serves him right
